I get a lot of questions about my Suzuki Carry conversion, so I set up this post to keep my van info in one place.
It’s still cool getting emails from other people with plans for their own Suzuki Carry. So if you have any questions, the best way to contact me about van stuff would be via DM on my Keiko instagram account or just via email.
